When one says "on" the ocean, it is commonly accepted that the intention is to state that the location is close to the ocean. English grammar prevails!Originally Posted by Duguntz

The movie '300' got only one thing absolutely right, and only needed to get one thing absolutely right. The movie was 99% faithful to Frank Miller's graphic novel '300' that it originated from. The graphic novel was used as the movie's storyboard.
It's Frank Miller's story and artistic design, not Zack Snyder's. All Snyder did was convert a printed format to an audio-visual one. So any historical inaccuracies are Frank Miller's responsibility.

This really has nothing to do with EB so I fail to see why it is here,. The Org is a big place and it is so unfair on every part of the community that you would post on topics that belong elsewhere in some place where they do not belong. I'm going to close this until we can get it moved,.
Please please please think about what you are posting and where you are posting it before you actually post.
